Less daylight, shorter walks and busy schedules lead to fewer encounters with other dogs \u2013 usually without us even noticing.<\/p><\/div><div><p>For this very reason, it is worth giving conscious attention to social contact during this time of year.<\/p><\/div><div><p>Dogs are social animals. Regular interaction with other dogs plays an important role in their emotional balance.
